ATL: HARVEY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Aric Dunn]

it will be over water ( port Lavaca ) within 3 hours .. if this convection near the center after nearly 24 hours of nothing near it is because it's starting to feel water then that means it would likely not have a hard time building convection around the center. often times circs will lose the convergence after being over land for awhile and it takes a long time to build back up.

The closer it gets to water the more the moisture will be able to fire its core...

A large area of moderate to heavy rainfall is setting up over the Brazos and Colorado River basins. Satellite imagery shows cloud tops cooling some over the area. Rainfall rates don't look hyper-crushing, but it's extremely consistent rain. Some parts of the Colorado watershed there have already seen over 20" of rain.

Apparently TWC's hurricane specialist thinks that from now on out, unless there is a large amount of water in a short time, the water should slowly go down despite the forecasted rain.

Nearly all of the far southeast US being affected by either Harvey or #10 with low clouds from 10 moving underneath the high clouds from Harvey across the N Gulf Coast. Gusty winds from one or the other occurring depending on the location

ABC 13 reported that the Army Corps of Engineers confirmed that they will probably have to start doing some releases on Barker & Addicks reservoirs. They know that doing this will flood the streets in the immediate areas, but may not have a choice. http://www.swg.usace.army.mil/Media/New ... barker-da/

Hopefully those bus's will be evacuating folks to Dallas, where they are setting up that "mega" evacuation center

I've been on this site since it started and just love how kind everyone is on this site. I also have been living in Sugarland/Richmond SW Houston area for 40 years. I've been through depressions, storms, Allison, Ike, and just general storms. At my house we have received 22" of rain in 35 hours and expecting more. The current forecast brings the storm directly over our house tomorrow night or Tuesday morning. Never, Never, have evacuations taken place like this. If you don't live here, you can't really understand. Just on a Friday or Sunday night, the normal traffic pattern is so heavy that it takes an amazing amount of time to get home. During the one evacuation that was called during Rita (I think), We spent an hour on the main road to leave and only got 1/2 mile. We chose to stay this time because we've had 22" of rain before and that was pretty much the forecast at first. Secondly, the storms usually move out pretty quick or at least give us a break for water to drain. Not this one. The thing is that the only one who would have known what this storm would do is its Creator. Considering the horrible experience that we had with trying to evacuation 6+ million (people died on the highway while stranded, sick and out of gas), and the bad experiences in the last year plus Allison, considering that the governor got disaster declarations two days before it hit, considering that all the county judges (including Ed Emmet) and city mayors have worked together to pull resources together, things could have been much, much worse. I'm grateful for the planning and good sense that is here now. I does not help to see people who really don't know talk badly about the people that I think have done an excellent job. Seems to me that the energy that is being used to lay blame would better be used to lay bricks on the road to recovery. Yes we have a leak in the roof, yes we are stranded in our neighborhood, yes, we are expecting it to get a little worse, but we have power, food, water, and a generator. I woke up on the right side of the daylight. I can't ask for more. Thanks for letting me vent.

Honestly, I was wondering why more people did not evacuate(including relatives and friends). When I heard CATASTROPHIC and what they were expecting, I thought, I would be out of there! Thanks for shedding light on the situation. I hope you remain safe and lives are spared. Praying for all in its path.

I live in a small town, and I'm sure it's different in a big city (although I HAVE lived in large
Cities), but let me say this:

I KNOW plenty of ways - using back roads, cutting through neighborhoods, etc. to get OUT of Dodge! I would venture to say there may have been ways, using shortcuts and such, may have been better ways to move through and out of town than being on the highways where everyone was trying to be.

I've always said that it's very wise to know all of the highways and byways in this kind of situation.

Not sure on the numbers but the 18z Navgem shifted east again to about the same location as 12z UK
